Pontefract Flyball

The girls’ team wasn’t quite on form, it still feels like a very new lineup and we aren’t all on the same page a lot of the time. Kim was much better this week, lots of comments on her improvement. Many thanks to Kath for that!

Dylan’s team was … weird. We had a 4-dog lineup that should really have been reasonably fast, but we never really pushed under 21s all day. Lead dog Lucy was back to clocking solid 4.8s and Dylan was absolutely flying as anchor, steady 4.8s when we got the splits at the end of the day. Just not sure what happened! We had nothing on starts (0.08 at worst) and absolutely nothing on changeovers.

I have to admit that Dylan’s box was terrible, I finally figured out why in the last race and we kind of fixed it in warmup, which it made an immediate improvement. Kicking myself over that! He loves running over 11″, it’s a height that really suits him, but he’s back over 12″ next time with Kim in the team and he’s losing his nice anchor spot.

More importantly, we’ve got plenty of time off to train and it’s Redcar this week, I’m so looking forward to me and Dyl off on our travels!
